Answers where work already happens
Most business questions surface in Microsoft Teams: a month-end variance thread, a leadership stand-up, a channel reviewing regional performance. Opening Power BI for every follow-up adds friction and often creates a second informal report path.
A Teams-native analyst lets people ask questions against approved Power BI semantic models without leaving the conversation. The semantic model remains the source of truth; Teams becomes the interface.

Nova signs users in with Microsoft Entra ID and respects existing Power BI permissions, including row-level security. Users only see models and rows they are already allowed to see.
That is different from uploading spreadsheets into a generic chatbot or copying numbers into an ungoverned side channel. Channel audience policy is designed to fail closed when shared-chat access cannot be verified.
